Apple: This is a setting that I should be able to control. Sometimes I want to take a quick picture to send to a friend or family member, and not automatically save the picture to my camera roll. It is a garbage photo that I then have to go into my saved pictures in order to dele the texted photo I don’t want. This needs to be fixed. It was better in iOS 11.

This is extremely annoying I usually just take a quick pic to send to someone and never have the attention of saving the pic myself and now I gotta open up my photo app and delete it. Apple has not released any statement or fix to this so for now we just have to deal with it I guess.

Apple please give us an option to turn this off!!!
